Although for most tourists from all over the world, there are still cruise companies that have launched their own liners.
 

Yes, yes ... Indeed, there are cruise liners that have been cruising since last year! For you, we have collected all the cruise ships that currently operate cruises.
 

Basically, these are local cruises that are carried out only for citizens of a certain country with a visit to the ports of one country or scenic cruises (without calling at ports).
 

Let's start with one of the most popular cruise lines, MSC Cruises.
 

Since August 2020, the ships of this Italian cruise company have been cruising the Mediterranean for European citizens. Due to the introduction of quarantine restrictions in Italy for the New Year and Christmas holidays, cruises were suspended. But at the end of January 2021 cruises on MSC Grandiosa started! This is the largest cruise ship on our list.

Region: Mediterranean Sea.

* Cruises are available for EU citizens

Aranui Cruises

Few people have heard of this cruise company, because it owns small cruise ships and yachts that operate in the regions of Asia, Oceania, Australia and New Zealand. But we could not bypass this cruise company, at least because of the unique cruise ship Aranui 5, which combines a passenger and a cargo ship. It is designed for only 230 guests.
